Georgetown City Council | September 28, 2026

The Georgetown City Council met on September 28, 2026. In the Georgetown Municipal Water and Sewer Service business report, council approved a group of operating and capital items, including a $62,100 carbon purchase from Desotech, a $200,727.73 progress payment on a wastewater plant project, and Change Order No. 18 for $104,655. The change order covered several project modifications, including a vector-truck unloading pad, pump guide rails, and related site work. Council also approved vehicle purchases from Frankfort Toyota through a state master purchasing agreement (prices not stated), a $26,740 engineering proposal from Magnet Engineers for a pump-station generator and transfer switch, and engineering work with Kentucky Engineering Group for Pump Station 19 and waterline projects; the stated amount for waterline design was $318,880. A waterline relocation by C Squared was also presented for council approval, with the property owner to reimburse the city. The utility items were approved together. Fire officials reported that Brindley Mountain had provided a refurbishment quote for Truck 2, which staff will review before bringing a proposal to council; Fire Station No. 4 design work was on schedule, with a consultant presentation anticipated in October.

Council accepted a police JAG grant for Recovery Support Team salaries. The affordable-housing director reported use of Emergency Solutions Grant funds for shelter and rapid-rehousing assistance and said staff were drafting an affordable-housing developer support policy for a future funding cycle; no new related contract award was reported. On data centers, council voted 6–0 to direct the city attorney to prepare an ordinance to ban them, with definitions and planning-commission review still to follow—the ban was not enacted at this meeting. The council also heard a first reading of a proposed annexation and zoning change for about 13.29 acres for a 46-lot single-family development; utility capacity review and infrastructure costs remain subject to later review, and the developer is generally responsible for required utility infrastructure under city policy.
